Damn, think you could get a little more crap in that tinny garage?? lol So, is that mill old or is it just me?? Is it "War Board Approved" like an old lath we had in a shop I used to work in? I bet your watch has more processing power then the cnc,

Damn that is a pretty big machine for a small garage like that. Definitely curious to see what you end up making.
